Here’s What It Would Take For The Russo Bros To Return To Marvel

After delivering four critically-acclaimed Marvel Studios movies that grossed a collective $6.7 billion at the global box office, the Russo Bros reveal whatever it’s going to take to get them to come out of their self-imposed semi-retirement from Marvel.

The Russo Bros have earned a long break after a roughly six-year commitment to Marvel Studios, directing some of the biggest and most important movies to the Marvel Cinematic Universe shared setting. They’re not ruling out a return, either, but they suggest that it’s gonna be a while before they direct another big Marvel project.

Talking to SyFy Wire, they revealed that a big element that would pull them back in are characters that were previously licensed to Fox. While the Russo Bros have mentioned an affinity for Wolverine in particular, Joe explains that they’re also really interested in the Fantastic Four side of the Marvel Universe.

“I grew on up [John] Byrne’s X-Men run. Ben Grimm was a favorite character growing up, The Thing. And Fantastic Four is now in the Marvel fold. There’s a lot! Silver Surfer is an amazing character. Going really big in cosmic would be a lot of fun. So there’s a lot of things that could attract us.”

As it stands, a Fantastic Four project is quite a while away, as are projects with the other Fox-owned characters. That shouldn’t rule out cameos along the way, but by the time that Marvel actually gets to the characters in standalone efforts, it may just be ripe time for the Russo Bros to make a triumphant return to the film company that turned them into Hollywood superstars.

Here’s the official synopsis for the latest movie from the Russo Bros:

The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, Avengers: Endgame.

Endgame will serve as both a follow up to Avengers: Infinity War as well as the conclusion to the 22 films that came before it which has now been dubbed as the Infinity Saga by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige before the studio kicks off Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Spider-Man: Far From Home in July.

While plot details still remain under wraps, Earth's Mightiest Heroes are expected to team up with Brie Larson's Captain Marvel and utilize the Quantum Realm in their efforts to undo the decimation from Thanos' snap and bring back half of the universe's population which was turned to dust by the Mad Titan.

Here is the plot synopsis for Endgame:

A culmination of 22 interconnected films the fourth installment of the Avengers saga will draw audiences to witness the turning point of this epic journey. Our beloved heroes will truly understand how fragile this reality is and the sacrifices that must be made to uphold it.
